Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplasts contain green pigment called chlorophyll which helps in manufacture of food through the process of photosynthesis. Since, animals do not manufacture food so they do not need chloroplast. And hence, chloroplast is found only in plant cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts are disc-shaped organelles found in the cytosol of a cell. They have outer and inner membranes with an intermembrane space between them.
Detailed explanation-3: -However, not all parts of a plant structure are suitable to do this, so not all types of plant cells contain chloroplasts. The plant cells that make up the roots and/or tubers typically do not contain chloroplasts since it would be useless to have them.
